I Bought an Abandoned Tiny House

2 роки тому

I converted an abandoned building into my first (tiny) home.
Here's the full process of that renovation.

In 2020, I bought my first home... an abandoned building in my village which was filled with old car parts and tools. Over the next year, I had the building renovated into a nice little tiny house cottage which I now live in and am very pleased with! I hope you enjoyed the process.

Agreed. Older buildings have so much character and new construction is just ...boring to look at if I'm being honest. Glad this little building was saved and turned into a home.

@Naivuren 2 роки тому

I the city I was born we have a terrible problem with people destroying or "accidentally" burning down old buildings because if they get officially registered as historical within the law, any renovations have to abide by the traditional methods in wich the building was made in the first place. Sadly, this means that most of the people that live in these older estates, who tend to be of lower income in the first place (most of the city is banana farmers), would not have the money to keep living/fixing their own homes. So it's really common for a building to burn down after it starts getting considered for a historical certification. A lot of the really old german-style buildings the city had around 30 years ago are gone, and it really saddens me, but I can't really fault the people, I get upset at the laws and think the governmet should be paying for restaurations in case the owners can't, to avoid this sort of thing.

@Eagle_Owl2 2 роки тому

@@Naivuren I live in a house which was built in 1596. But I only rent the appartement, I would never buy it. The windows are a pain in the ass because they HAVE to be wood and have to have a certain look. Sure, they look cool, but they don't insulate very well and are not really practical. The stairs are also pretty...idk, crooked? I don't care, but I also can't see old people living in an appartement upstairs. And even the owners of the building are not allowed to change any of this. I like my appartement and it's cozy, but I wouldn't like to be responsible for it and the house itself.

I agree, I think the peach table is such a nice match with the pillows in the background and it just brightens up that room. A simple grey table would have made the room look really boring.

Pro tiny house tip. Dont be afraid to use the height avaliable. Bedroom, get a taller bed so you can store containers under it. I'd put the tv on the wall, get a "floating" bookshelf for your xbox. This leaves room tl push the coffee table out of the way if you need floor space. But, that being said. If this works for you, change nothing. It looks amazing.

I love that you were allowed to fix it with modern materials. Here in Germany there are thousands of properties in terrible condition that no one is willing to buy or even get for free because they are landmarked. That means that you need an army of historians to go through your property and they decide how you have to restore it. That means getting period correct reclaimed bricks, wood truces and roof shindles, no modern windows etc

@SkySilver777 2 роки тому

on one hand I understand the sentiment bc its important to try and preserve historic landmarks, but there should definitely be a middle ground. it would be better to put the old houses to better use rather than consume more resources to build brand new places imo. but where I live you see somewhat of the opposite where beautiful historic sites gets torn down and they build a gas station or a parking lot. so I think we gotta have some give and take when it comes to this.

@leroyjenkins2639 2 роки тому

@@SkySilver777 i definitely have respect for people who renovate historical sites but at some point if the governing entity wants to keep it as a historical site, they should be the ones in charge of ownership and maintenance.

I think Spain hit a happy medium when their government put a stop to all the tearing down of historical buildings. They made a law saying you could gut the inside if you had to, but the outside had to stay in original form. Thus a lot of the "antique" buildings you can still find there are actually quite modern on the inside, but the city gets to keep its cultural character.

Love the table. It's an intuitive selection and adds that "pop" that professionals look for. Honey, don't let anyone TELL you what you like. You turned this from an abandoned building into a home. Well done. It doesn't have to be perfect for anyone else. If they want to make changes, put a huge price on it and if they buy it, then it's their decision. You're living with it. If you like it, it works.

The glass table in your living area looks fine. It works with the light, whereas a solid surface would interrupt the flow and perhaps make the small space look cluttered. It also picks out the colours in the fabrics around the window.

The pink glass table is gorgeous - such item should have only been mine! But the floor should never be made of wood - trees and flowers are sacred and not meant to be _ed by humnz! Only synthetic materiaIs should be used to make items! Also, the food related term jam cannot be in humnz’ names - the name James must be changed! And, the other name is also unsuitable for humnz!

@SouthernPioneer1965 Рік тому

I agree about the table , being clear doesn’t block view or make the space heavy feeling, but I personally wouldn’t like the pinkish hue it gives off . Kinda throws me off. At first I was wondering why you didn’t put the bedroom bath up stairs. But after seeing the light and the view.. I get it. Great job.

@jsabri6324 Рік тому

The rug and table are perfect. The table takes up very little visual space and keeps the room open looking while also adding a bit of color. A metal table might be too much visually. The rug keeps everything bright as well without being visually imposing. You did a wonderful job!

@MorningCoffeeDaily Рік тому

@@konradlangwald7082 Yes it Might. In this cases you need to isolate the house from the problem. If there is a stream nearby, groundwater, u need to identify it, correct it by diverging the direction from the house and making the foundations water proof. If not , expensive solutions you can even add inside the walls electric system to heat the walls. usually building a "pool" system around the house will help. The roof is new right, so it wont be through there.

You've done an amazing job. It's nice to see the old building preserved and even restored to its former glory. I prefer a traditional style and I love the georgian windows that you've put in. The outdoor lights, the cobles, the windows - everything works in harmony. It's pleasing to the eye. Indoors modern interior also works well with this tradional house. Glad that you've chosen white for the walls as it goes with everything and you can put your own accents on them. Wood, white and grey are great combination of colours. To be honest, I am not keen on the coffee table, simply because it's plastic. Plastic kind of looks cheap. But that's my humble opinion. Overall it's a very cosy house. I wouldn't mind living in such place. 😊
